Abstract
Time should be an important aspect of organizational theory, but it has been neglected for decades, especially in leadership research. However, despite many recent studies had devoted to the field of time issues in management and organizational behaviors, they were mainly focused on the effect of subjective time on individual’s attitude and behavior. Few studies, if any, investigated research on time at group-level, or linked it with leadership area. One of important function of a group leader is to harmonize a group of members with specialized skills to accomplish group target; therefore, the temporal dimensions are especially significant to a group leader. Unfortunately, this issue has not yet been explored. In view of this, I reviewed literature on temporal perspective and leadership, in order to address distinctive concepts of temporal perspective leadership and its possible effects on group-level and individual-level effectiveness. In addition, I take induction method to develop a suitable measurement questionnaire of temporal perspective leadership, and then establishes the reliability and validity of scale and its nomological network. Finally, based on social entrainment theory, I developed a model in which group entrainment mediated between temporal perspective leadership and outcomes at different levels. Applying three systematic studies and samples comprised seven sources, results showed that group entrainment mediated the effect of temporal perspective leadership at both levels. Implications for the theory and practice of leadership are discussed, and future research directions offered. By doing so, I hope to encourage future researchers to get involved in and invest in leadership research on time issues.
